    Just gos to show you how much force is exerted on the hilt when dueling, and how imporant it is to secure everything in and on your saber.


    One thing I wonder; however, is wether or not you guys had these parts tight enough. A loose bolt can be sheered of easier than a tight one, so maybe that's the problem. Any wiggle room will cause unwanted stress on the connector resulting in failure.

    Just a thought.
    Read the Thread Index. because Lord Maul fixed it...

    Well while just doing a simple double blade spin I hit my leg, (which hurt ) and that broke mine so the next time me or Dacota orders something, I'll get a double male connector.
    Trial and error I guess.
    It's a good thing we aren't playing with the real thing here. If these sabers could really cut, I'd have one arm, no legs below the knees, and only half of my head.

    then you'd only have half a mind to build sabers.

    Or, people would think I'm crazy since I'm never in my right mind.

    I just wanted to add that I've had no problem with mine and I duel at least 3 times a week. Now weather you guys are dueling against bats or lead pipes is a completely different story.

    Well Ryu was using an o-ring to line up the switches on the saber so maybe that space is what did it for the changer.

    Nope being I have been a Mechanic now for over 20years, mine was Gut und tight and the other day I noticed that the second gender changer was starting to seperate at least I caught it in time. Now with the Double Connectors there are no more worries.
